If I don't do it this way I lose out on OS items that people are just going to sell. If a MS needs on it and loses I will gladly pass it to them with 1 caveat: Don't be a douche! If they say some crap like "Really!?" I wont even consider passing it. If they are more rude than that I will tell them I would have passed it if they weren't such aholes.

There's no penalty for rolling need on things, especially in a pug. Lesson learned after the first couple instances run - never roll first.

Pre-emptive douche-baggery is the new black?

The mentality of people who rage over drops in dungeons amuses me. If you lose on a need roll...run the dungeon again. I've pretty much never seen anyone need on an item that they don't need. Then agian my only real competion is a rogue.

Uh, WoW is serious business? or is that too 2004? I've seen people roll on all sorts of things they didn't need. PuG hunters had a well deserved reputation too.
In any event, it's the same problem since day 1 and it sucked even more when you might have to run a dungeon 50+ times to get your blue set piece. No accountability leads to awful group social dynamics.

People still group for heroics outside guild?
Interesting concept.

It's pretty much been common practice since LFD inception. With no personal responsibility to be civil to your fellow server goes, people more prone to asshattery rolled need on everything. Over time, those less prone to asshattery were forced to copy this behavior just to get loot they actually needed, much less loot they might want for OS.
I think people who worry about MS/OS in 5 mans these days are mostly just stubbornly holding on to the old days or simply haven't pugged much. It's pug eat pug out there.

Outside of guild groups, the rule is simple. Roll need if you need, be it for main or offspec. Then, if you won an offspec item and a guy who needs it for main spec asks NICELY, you can still trade it. The chances that a guy asks nicely are close to zero anyway, so... *shrug*.
And those who think it's the dungeon finder which introduced this behavior have long term memory problems. PuGs have always been full of "douchebags", and if you don't want to be at the bottom of the food chain, need what you need. Isn't that what the need button means, anyway? Just thank Blizzard that they made it so that people can no longer "need" on things they can't equip at all or on armor that isn't meant for their class... remember paladins ninjaing healer cloth gear?
